Chapter 52: A Scene Through the Ages
Chapter 52
"The Legend of the Chivalrous White Snake" caused a hit in the capital, and everyone fell in love with this female goblin who dared to love and hate.
If a thing is too hot, it will naturally cause opposition, and there are already celebrities in the capital who have voiced their voices.
"Preaching a monster is a big rebellion. ”
"Morality has fallen, times have deteriorated. ”
"We're going to boyish together. ”
......
The voices of these celebrities and celebrities are only spread in the society, and they cannot affect the enthusiasm of the general public.
People still rushed to the theater to cheer.
The Ancient Building, where Hua Manlou personally sits, attracted the most people, after all, although the Phantom Stone was convenient, it was not as good as a real person.
Most of those who couldn't buy tickets were shunted to 17 other theaters.
Some people bought tickets for three days in a row, watched one show after another, and the tea was not fragrant.
Some people queue up outside the theater before dawn, and the ticket price ranges from one tael of silver to ten taels or one hundred taels...... As soon as you sell it, you can make money.
The popularity of "The Legend of the Chivalrous White Snake" gave birth to the scalper industry.
Some people spend a lot of money and spread flowers in the ancient building, just hoping to have a meal with Hua Manting.
Eighteen theaters are full every day, and the flow of people is two silver, and the broken silver is sent to the money bank, exchanged into whole silver, and the whole silver is exchanged for silver tickets, and then continuously sent to the Wutong faction.
In the past few days, Zhuang Yisheng has counted money every day until his hands cramped.
"Childe, Wen Xiang has arrived. ”
Qiu Lanpei pushed the door in, Wen Yuanchen followed, and saw stacks of silver tickets in the room, and there was an accounting book next to it.
As soon as the wind blew, several silver tickets fell to the ground.
Wen Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "It's just too pompous." ”
"Why did Wen Xiang have time to come?"
Zhuang Yisheng was counting the money, his hands were stained with ink, and the eighteen theaters were earning money together, putting aside all kinds of expenses, and his daily income was about 20,000 taels.
Zhuang Yisheng has also seen the world, and he doesn't think it's much, but the silver is too broken, and he has to count it a little bit.
So it's quite pompous.
Wen Xiang suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a straight face: "Zhuang Yisheng, what happened to what I told you last time, when will the phantom stone be given to me?"
"I really don't have it in my hands. Zhuang Yisheng said.
"You don't have to bluff me, except for the Ancient Building, your other theaters are singing, and they all use phantom stones, so it's not good for you to save one for me. ”
"This ......"
"Actually, I also understand that it is not easy for you to come up with this method, because you want to make money from it. But it's not like I don't give money. Wen Xiang said: "It's not that I want it, it's the favor entrusted to me by King Xiaoyao, I have promised him, you can't let my face be thrown into the soil." ”
"Hey, that's it, what else are you asking me to say. The text is a little bit more equivalent. ”
Zhuang Yisheng turned to the back hall, opened the box, there were more than 30,000 phantom stones in it, took out one casually, found a handkerchief to wrap it, and walked out again.
"Xiangye, I'm squeezing this out from between my teeth, don't say it. ”
"I understand. Wen Xiang happily put away the phantom stone and said with a smile: "I owe you a favor." ”
Wen Xiang squinted and smiled and left, he knew that the King of Freedom was still looking for the Phantom Stone through other relationships, but it was useless, and in the end, only his own official could get it.
Qiu Lanpei leaned over and said, "Childe, Boss Hua has sent a message, can you give her a phantom stone, it's not that she wants it, it's another guest who has entrusted her favor, and she can't refuse." ”
"It's not just her, but the bosses of other theater troupes have also begged me, what do you think?"
Although the legend of the chivalrous White Snake has caused a lot of popularity in the capital, few people know that Zhuang Yisheng is the operator behind the scenes.
There are nobles behind every opera troupe, and they can't find anyone to call the shots, so they can only find these troupe owners.
These class leaders turned their heads and begged Qiu Lanpei again.
Zhuang Yisheng took out a few pieces and said, "Let's release them first." ”
Qiu Lanpei breathed a sigh of relief, now he would be able to deal with those people. At the same time, she was also a little curious: "Childe, since many people are looking for it, why don't we take it out and buy it?"
Zhuang Yisheng glanced at her and said in his heart: What do you know, it's worthless to let it out.
............
At night, in a courtyard somewhere in the capital, phantom stones hit the screen, and red lanterns hung on both sides.
The Snow Lady was crooked on the recliner, and there was still an ice burst bear standing beside her without a trace of stray hair.
Because in her own home, she dressed more casually, her clothes were half open, and the infinite spring was peeped by the bright moon. His eyes were staring straight at the screen, reluctant to look away.
She had to admit that she was hooked on the show. humming and singing in the play, every word is said to the bottom of her heart, and it seems that what she sings is her story.
"It's a good song. The Snow Lady subconsciously rubbed her eyes, and unconsciously sighed.
There are also two women beside him, both of them are brocade and satin, although there are not many jewelry, but they are exquisite, and they match everyone's appearance and temperament.
"Sister Xue is very capable, now it is difficult to find a ticket for the Eternal Building, it is difficult for everyone to buy a ticket, and my sister can actually buy a phantom stone. A woman in yellow said.
"I also put in a lot of effort and a lot of favors. The Snow Lady understated.
"To put it simply, then why can't I buy it, I also trust a lot of people, but there is no way. The woman in the yellow dress said.
"It's still Sister Xue's ability, I've heard, now the phantom stone is only given away and not sold, you don't care, the silver is piled up, and you can't buy one. ”
"If you don't say that Sister Xue is very capable. The woman in the yellow dress lay on the chair and straightened her chest in front of her: "Finally, we don't have to go to the theater, we huddle with those people, lie here, and do whatever we want." ”
The clarified wine syrup is served in a porcelain cup, there are all kinds of fresh fruits on the table, a few snacks, and on the screen, there is a humming sound from time to time.
The baby-faced woman only noticed the bear doll in the Snow Lady's arms at this moment, and said, "It seems to look better?"
"Also, didn't you say you were sick not long ago? My red-tailed fox has never eaten well, and the more I raise it, the more wilted it becomes, and I'm embarrassed to bring it out. ”
In addition to being a companion of immortal cultivators and assisting in combat, the spirit pet also has another role, that is, as a woman's pet.
Lingpet understands human nature, and raising a spiritual pet as a pet has become a trend among upper-class women. However, they choose spirit pets, and their grade and combat effectiveness are secondary, mainly based on their appearance.
The Snow Lady rubbed the head of the Ice Burst Bear and said with a smile: "Speaking of this, it is also a coincidence, the white doll was indeed sick, and it happened to meet someone who was cured." He also gave me a recipe, which I didn't believe at first, and I asked someone to read it, but no one could get it. I also had the courage to try it, but I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good, and the white doll not only ate more, but also became more energetic. ”
"Sister Xue is really lucky. ”
The other two girls sighed at the same time: "Can that person still be found, help my spirit pet also make a recipe." ”
At the end of a play, the woman in yellow clothes and the woman with a round face said goodbye and left, and the murmuring of the two sounded in the dark garden.
"What's there, it's a fool's errand. ”
"I don't know if it's the man. ”
"I don't believe I can't buy it. ”
